Awake, Awake, released in 2004, is a collection of accompanied and unaccompanied Appalachian and British Isles ballads and traditional instrumental tunes. The collection of songs includes those that Ellen has sung since her younger days, learned from recordings and printed collections, as well as those learned more recently from seventh-generation ballad singer, writer and storyteller Sheila Kay Adams of Madison County, North Carolina. The tunes are those from the contra and square dance tradition of Appalachia and New England including one original country waltz. The musicians on the record are traditional players form the Pittsburgh and Mid-Atlantic folk music and dance community, including Ellen at the piano, Larry Unger on banjo, David Knight, Rich Moore and Elise Yoder, fiddles, Sue Moore on oboe, and Kathy Fallon on guitar. Two of the tracks, as well as the bonus tracks, feature some of Pittsburgh's prominent classical players: Patricia Halverson, Warren Davidson, Jason Posnock, Marylene Gingras-Roy, Joe Bishkoff and Michael Moricz.
